TOWING: breakdown (continued)
- RENAULT specifies the
use of a rigid towing bar.
Ifaropeorcableisused
(where the law allows
this), the vehicle being towed
must be able to brake.
- A vehicle must not be towed if it
is not fit to be driven.
- Do not accelerate or brake
suddenly when towing, as this
may result in damage being
caused to the vehicle.
- When towing a vehicle, do not
exceed 15 mph (25 km/h).
Towing a vehicle with
automatic transmission: special
information
Engine switched off: The gearbox is
no longer lubricated. It is preferable
to tow this type of vehicle on a
trailer or tow it with the front
wheels off the ground.
Under exceptional circumstances,
you may tow the vehicle with all
four wheels on the ground, only
going forward, with the gear lever in
the Neutral position, and for a
distance not exceeding 30 miles
(50 km).
When the engine is
stopped, steering and
braking assistance are
not operational.
The gear selector lever
must be in neutral
(position N).
If the lever 1 becomes
jammed in position P, even though
you are depressing the brake pedal,
the lever can be released manually.
To do this, insert a metal rod into
hole 2 and press to move the lever
from position P.
